I got a record number of false-positives from Sniffer yesterday. The
category was always "Scam Patterns". Two of them were from Yahoo! as well.
Although the total was low (something like four FP's total), that is more in
one day than I usually see in a month with Sniffer. There must have been
some incredibly-badly written code that slipped though, as they were
personal e-mails that should never have been tagged. Personal e-mails are
really the only ones that I truly consider false positives. I get dozens of
mailing list messages trapped each month, but I don't consider those a big
deal. Customers rarely miss these. I very, very rarely see any truly
personal e-mails get trapped by Sniffer though. Hopefully, they have already
fixed the problem. I haven't seen any as of this afternoon.
